Aeroquip 491 fittings

Today at Jasper we had a fellow start a take off departure and then his engine quit.

The Aeroquip 491 fitting on the input to the red cube came apart. The hose came out of the fitting. This has been on the aircraft for 10 years.

Angels watching over this good friend of mine.

I can say the IA at the airport stated he replaces the lines after 8 years on aircraft he maintains.

This just reinforces whats been discussed here. He is a lucky fellow. If the hose was on the downstream side of the pump and under pressure, it could have been much worse.
